Heiress Winnifred Humphries refuses to marry the odious man her parents have chosen. She’ll marry for love or not at all. But how does a woman know a man truly loves her? Needing answers, she sets out to discover the marriage habits of London’s aristocrats. Yet when her friends kidnap a lord for research, Winn knows they’ve gone too far. Now she’s facing a wickedly handsome scoundrel who wants revenge.

Lord Asher Holt has the perfect plan to free himself of his father’s debts. But when a trio of foolish debutantes abducts him, their scheme ruins everything! Fuming and tied to a chair, Holt overhears that one of them is an heiress. Perhaps he isn’t above a little kidnapping either.

Yet, when the heiress runs away from her own wedding and straight into his waiting carriage, Holt finds himself on an adventure he’ll never forget, falling in love with a woman worth more than any treasure. But will Winn ever believe his heart only desires her... and not her fortune?

Will be starting this soon

Chapter 1-6: (view spoiler)[I am already intrigued by the plot of the book and I absolutely loved the fact that Winnifred decided to elope after all , what kind of a man makes a blunder with accidentally sending his future wife a gift intended for his mistress and on their wedding day too! It seems like her mom has good intentions but is going about it in the wrong way to say the least. This forced proximity between Winnifred and Asher is bound to result in entertaining scenarios (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7-11: (view spoiler)[Winn and Asher traveling together to her aunt's estate is forcing them to spend a lot of time together and I am loving their interactions honestly. Winn's dad sounds scary and I am afraid what he'd do if he happens to find them together now that he knows Asher was with Winn in the carriage. The attraction is strong but neither of them have acted upon it yet so I am curious about how and when their first kiss would take place (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12-17: (view spoiler)[This is getting better with every chapter ngl. Winn and Asher's time at the farm was so endearing, I could see them living a modest life in the future. I don't know how Winn would react when she finds out the bargain between her dad and Asher, she'd be heartbroken mostly. I am eager to see how Asher gets himself out of the bind he has gotten himself into especially now that feelings are involved (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 18-26: (view spoiler)[Poor Winn, my heart breaks for her. Asher really shouldn't have sent a missive to her father to meet them at the aunt's estate and Winn might have been happy still. It also bothered me that Asher could not bring himself to confess to Winn but somehow got the time to sleep with her. No wonder she agreed to marry Woodbine, her trust in men is shattered completely (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[This was such a heartwarming end to Winn and Asher's story. The pirate turning up with a lost treasure right when Asher needed it the most was although too good to be true and a bit on the fantastical side, I wholeheartedly loved what came after. Asher's proposal was the stuff of the dreams, it brought tears of joy to my eyes (i may simply be too into my emotions atm lol) and I am excited for the next book in the series (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 1-9 (view spoiler)[Okay so much has happened with her running away from the wedding, then being chased down, their driver leaving them, and now her dress getting stolen. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10-13 (view spoiler)[ OMG I feel so bad for the farmer 😭😭😭 (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 14-21 (view spoiler)[Ugh he needs to tell her. But he clearly loves her. But he still needs to tell her. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Of course the pirate showed up…not really sure how I felt about that, but I’m glad they professed their love to each other, even though he was planning on leaving on the ship. (hide spoiler)]

Started

Chapters 1-6 (view spoiler)[I’m enjoying this so far but not as much as the last one. I still like Jane’s character though (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 7-18 (view spoiler)[I love how they found out more about his family a little. I like how she guilted him into coming too. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 19-26 (view spoiler)[I love Jane’s declaration of love and how Raven went to the dinner. I like the grandpa. The dancing lessons were fun. Not sure what to make of her parents and the dinner. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I really liked this one! I can’t believe her parents were going to send her to America. But I’m glad her friends stepped in and that everything with his birth and the fire was straightened out. (hide spoiler)]

Starting the next one soon

Chapters 1-5 (view spoiler)[Ugh George is awful stringing her along like this. I can’t wait for her to realize what a jerk he is. Also love that she became friends with Meg. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 6-13 (view spoiler)[I’m super interested in her friends book and seeing what happened there. I really need George to be out of the picture completely. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 14-27 (view spoiler)[George is terrible and I can’t believe he is leading both the friends on.

I like that he was there for her when she had the panic attack over the bridge and is slowly helping her get over her fears. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Well now she finally realized at the end that George was awful. I mean I'm glad she made the grand gesture by running after him after George proposed, but STILL. (hide spoiler)]

Will read the next one soon.

Will finish this soon.

Just keeping this thread alive.

Finally got from the library

Chapters 1-5 (view spoiler)[I loved how they shared a carriage ride. And I actually wasn’t expecting her to accept his offer of becoming his mistress. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 6-9 (view spoiler)[I do understand why he has these concerns about her, but I like that he still trusts her too. I also liked how he just spent the night with her. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 10-20 (view spoiler)[I actually thought that they would have had sex sooner. But like what happened?? I thought she had been with that one guy. I love these two together though and having all these little moments. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I didn’t love the whole thinking he cheated but and him sending her away. But I can’t believe Meg is pregnant!!! Like why do I have to wait for the next book??? (hide spoiler)]

I will finally be starting this series in the next week or so.

Continuing soon

Have the last book checked out will start soon

Started book 1 tonight finally.



Chapters 1-8
(view spoiler)[
I'm enjoying this so far. The way Jane and Ellie accidentally kidnapped Asher was hilarious. And now him and Winn are stuck with no money and no transportation in the middle of nowhere. I'm interested to see how this plays out.
(hide spoiler)]

Finishing this series this weekend

Started

Chapters 1-7 (view spoiler)[Okay, I’m having a hard time with this one so far. I just cannot seem to focus on it. But I’m hoping this picks up a little because I do like their banter. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 8-16 (view spoiler)[I think I’m just not into listening to this one right now. Not sure why. I’m glad that she admitted her feelings to herself at least. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 17-25 (view spoiler)[Not too sure what I have been listening to since I’m just now realizing that she has a daughter. Also positive it’s his child. I’m glad we know why he left though and it was because his half sister was dying. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Ugh this was 100% a wrong time to read this one for me. I don’t know why I haven’t been able to listen as much as I used to this month. But I wasn’t suspecting it to be the sister at all, but it makes so much sense that it was her all along. Also I knew that it was his child! (hide spoiler)]

Finally finished book 1.



Chapters 9-16
(view spoiler)[
Oh man, I did not expect that Holt made a deal with her father. That is going to cause problems between them when she finds out. She already has sever trust and self esteem issues. She'll think everything between them is a lie. And can I say, their string of bad luck is just getting to be ridiculous? No one is that unlucky.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapters 17-24
(view spoiler)[
Oh no, that went about how I expected with Winn finding out the truth. And now Asher has disappeared before he can explain? I don't believe he left but I'm not sure what happened then.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapters 25-33
(view spoiler)[
I love that he wrote her chapters of the book to try and win her back, that's so sweet. I do wish she had given him more of a chance to explain rather than ignoring him but I'm glad they worked everything out. I enjoyed this one as Winn and Holt were cute together.
(hide spoiler)]

I'll be picking up book 2 next week.

Got behind so I will get back to this series in May.

Picking up the next book shortly.

Started book 2 tonight.



Chapters 1-9
(view spoiler)[
I'm really enjoying this one a lot. I love the dynamic between Jane and Raven, they're so cute together with their banter. I wonder what the whole mystery is about his family? He's part of the peerage I'm guessing?
(hide spoiler)]

Finished book 2 tonight.



Chapters 10-18
(view spoiler)[
So Raven is nobility, I thought so. I wonder how this will all go as I imagine taking his place as the grandson of an earl won't be easy. I really like the connection growing between him and Jane.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapters 19-27
(view spoiler)[
Raven and Jane are so good together, I'm loving how their relationship is developing. I wonder how things with his title will work out. He doesn't seem to want it but without it I don't think Jane's parents would ever let her marry him. Not that he wants marriage right now, but we'll see.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapters 28-37
(view spoiler)[
Lots of drama there for a bit, I'm glad that was cleared up. I love that Raven set up all the Christmas decorations with Jane's siblings for her. That was a sweet moment. I do wish we had gotten an epilogue but overall I really liked this one. I'm looking forward to reading the next book soon.
(hide spoiler)]

I'll be picking up book 3 next week.

Hoping to start book 3 shortly.

Will pick up book 3 soon.

Still planning to read book 3 soon.

Started book 3 tonight.



Chapters 1-9
(view spoiler)[
I'm liking this so far. Ellie is just such a positive person, it's wonderful. She's absolutely being taken advantage of by George though and I hope she realizes he doesn't love her sooner rather than later.
(hide spoiler)]

I'll finish book 3 this week.

Still hoping to finish the next book soon.

Will finish book 3 soon.
